Oct 28, 2026Jeremy Adams makes First Light feel like an invitation to explore the wider Green Lantern universe. The character work, expanding mythology, and shocking final tease make this an excellent jumping-on point. The show may be over, but the comics are just getting started! Read Full Review

Oct 28, 2026Kyle Rayner’s return to OA is far from a social visit as Hal Jordan hunts dangerous secrets in the crossover opener. Adams’ writing sets a high bar for where this story is going. The art teams channels a great balance of action and drama. The final page is sure to draw some attention as OA’s hidden truths are about to come to light….first light. Read Full Review

Oct 30, 2026Green Lantern #40 begins the "First Light" crossover with Green Lantern Corps, and if you haven't been reading that sister title, then there's no way you aren't at least a little lost here. That's not to say there isn't plenty of character work and plot development here; it's just that it's easy to get lost in all of the detail. The major takeaway is that Hal Jordan's quest is finally drawing to a close, so he and the other Lanterns will get to see what he's been searching for this whole time. And the surprising reveal of the new Black Hand at the end of the issue promises that Kyle Rayner will still be front and center in upcoming events—no time on ice in the fridge for him.

Comic Watch - Theron Couch
Oct 30, 2026Green Lantern #40 doesn’t kick off First Light with an inciting incident so much as it pulls all the recent storylines together on the promise that they’re going toward an eventual resolution. Adams delivers a transition issue more than anything else. Green Lantern #40 works very well in that regard, proving to be an effective start to the First Light crossover. Read Full Review
